The Order of the Arrow’s induction teaches Scouts, selected by their unit for being a role model, the virtues of WWW and how to live them out, animated by the Admonition. Since induction is the one common thread all Arrowmen share and it is the first thing each candidate experiences in the OA, it is incalculably important to make sure we get it right. That is where Polestar comes in. You can learn all about the new Polestar: Induction Leadership Training by reading the full article!
There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way lodges function, especially with regards to inductions. With most of the country in some form of lockdown, meeting in larger groups is still nearly impossible. One lodge, however, utilized relaxing restrictions in their state to effectively host one of the largest Ordeals since the beginning of the pandemic, welcoming an astonishing 107 new members into the Order of the Arrow. Read the article that covers how Mowogo Lodge was able to define all odds on our website!
On April 23-24, the Order of the Arrow held one of the most exciting virtual events of the year, Momentum: Discover! Momentum: Discover was a great virtual program streamed from a beloved camp in each of the four regions, enabling Arrowmen across the nation to join together and look toward the upcoming summer camp season and high adventure opportunities!
